A Fauna-List of the Decapod Crustacea from the Coasts Washed by the Tsushima Warm Current Records of Oceanographic Works in Japan (Special Number 6) December 1962 A FAUNA-LIST OF THE DECAPOD CRUSTACEA FROM THE COASTS WASHED BY THE TSUSHIMA WARM CURRENT By Sadayoshi Miyake,* Katsushi Sakai* and Shyohei Nishikawa** * Zoological Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Kyushu University, Fukuoka\ (** Shimonoseki College of Fisheries / The decapod crustacean fauna in the Tsushima Current, a branch of the warm Kuro-Shio has not been studied suficiently, although of course benthonic crustaceans are very important as baits of fish. In 1961 the decapod crustacean fauna of Amakusa and the Sea of Ariake, northwest Kyushu, have been reported by one of the authors (Miyake, 1961).3,4) Present report comprises the local faunas of decapod crustaceans in the northern Kyushu and off Tottori prefecture studied in 1960. Besides these local faunas mentioned above, materials from Niigata and Yamagata prefectures were examined for the purpose of comparison of the local ones. Including our own collections, the total number of species in the Tsushima Current was 428, divided as follows: macruran species 95, anomuran species 73 .2J?*? and brachyuran species -306C The fauna-list of the decapod crustacea known to inhabit the region was indicated in the following table, together with their distribution. Our sincere thanks are due to Messrs. Genji Kato and Akira Ouchi of the Japan Sea Regional Fisheries Research Laboratory, Niigata City, Hisaaki Iwasawa of the Sado Marine Biological Station of the Niigata University, Tesshi Senda of the Tottori Fisheries Experimental Station, Takashi Kishida in Tottori pre- fecture and Yoshinori Motomatsu in Fukuoka prefecture for their materials at our disposal. Collecting methods of materials 1) Materials from Tsuyazaki, northern Kyushu Since the Fishery Research Laboratory of the Kyushu University is located in the town of Tsuyazaki. The town near the city of Fukuoka placing the Sea of Genkai-Nada, was the most convenient station in the northern Kyushu for the collection of materials. Rich materials were also obtained in the fishing port of Oshima Island, off Tsuyazaki. — 121 — 2) Materials from Tottori prefecture We have easily taken many specimens among rich marine products at Karo Port, a famous fishing port in Tottori City. As the benthos survey was carried on under the Tottori Fisheries Experimental Station during our study, materials of benthonic decapod crustaceans from the bay of Miho-Wan were also obtained. 3) Materials from Niigata and Yamagata prefectures Specimens from Niigata and Yamagata prefectures were taken among ma- terials dredging by the ship of the Japan Sea Regional Fisheries Research Laboratory, Niigata City. Through the courtesy of Mr. H. Iwasawa of the Sado Marine Biological Station of the Niigata University, littoral anomuran species near the laboratory were also examined.

  • Groundwater Oxygen Isotope Anomaly Before the M6.6 Tottori Earthquake
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Groundwater oxygen isotope anomaly before the M6.6 Tottori earthquake in Southwest Japan Received: 13 December 2017 Satoki Onda1, Yuji Sano 1, Naoto Takahata 1, Takanori Kagoshima1, Toshihiro Miyajima1, Accepted: 8 March 2018 Tomo Shibata2, Daniele L. Pinti 3, Tefang Lan4, Nak Kyu Kim5, Minoru Kusakabe5 & Published: xx xx xxxx Yoshiro Nishio6 Geochemical monitoring of groundwater in seismically-active regions has been carried out since 1970s. Precursors were well documented, but often criticized for anecdotal or fragmentary signals, and for lacking a clear physico-chemical explanation for these anomalies. Here we report – as potential seismic precursor – oxygen isotopic ratio anomalies of +0.24‰ relative to the local background measured in groundwater, a few months before the Tottori earthquake (M 6.6) in Southwest Japan. Samples were deep groundwater located 5 km west of the epicenter, packed in bottles and distributed as drinking water between September 2015 and July 2017, a time frame which covers the pre- and post-event. Small but substantial increase of 0.07‰ was observed soon after the earthquake. Laboratory crushing experiments of aquifer rock aimed to simulating rock deformation under strain and tensile stresses were carried out. Measured helium degassing from the rock and 18O-shift suggest that the co-seismic oxygen anomalies are directly related to volumetric strain changes. The fndings provide a plausible physico- chemical basis to explain geochemical anomalies in water and may be useful in future earthquake prediction research. Hydro-geochemical precursors of major earthquakes have attracted the attention of researchers worldwide, because they are not entirely unexpected1,2.

Ashikaga Institute of Technology A series of top-soil samples of 14 paddy fields and 10 upland fields in Japan, were annually collected during more than 30 years, to be examined in the contents of ,37Cs. The data, which were obtained by the use of a gamma spectrometric system, received some statistical treatments to distinguish the annual decline of 137Cs contents from deviations. Then the authors calculated "residence half-time of137Cs" within top-soil, and "eluviation rate of 137Cs" from top to the sub-layer of the soil. The following nationwide results were obtained irrespective of paddy or upland fields: (1) The "apparent residence half-time" was estimated as 16—-17 years. This one consists of both effects of eluviation and nuclear disintegration. (2) The "true residence half-time" was reported as 41~~42 years. This one depends on the eluviation speed of 137Cs exclusively, because the influence of nuclear disinte• gration has been compensated.

  • Between Arcadia and Crete: Callisto in Callimachus' Hymn to Zeus The
    Between Arcadia and Crete: Callisto in Callimachus’ Hymn to Zeus The speaker of Callimachus’ Hymn to Zeus famously asks Zeus himself whether he should celebrate the god as “Dictaean,” i.e. born on Mt. Dicte in Crete, or “Lycaean,” born on Arcadian Mt. Lycaeus (4-7). When the response comes, “Κρῆτες ἀεὶ ψεῦσται” (“Cretans are always liars,” 8), the hymnist agrees, and for support recalls that the Cretans built a tomb for Zeus, who is immortal (8-9). In so dismissing Cretan claims to truth, the hymnist justifies an Arcadian setting for his ensuing birth narrative (10-41). Curiously, however, after recounting Zeus’s birth and bath, the hymnist suddenly locates the remainder of the god’s early life in Crete after all (42-54). The transition is surprising, not only because it runs counter to the previous rejection of Cretan claims, but also because the Arcadians themselves held that Zeus was both born and raised in Arcadia (Paus. 8.38.2). While scholars have focused on how the ambiguity of two place names (κευθμὸν... Κρηταῖον, 34; Θενάς/Θεναί, 42, 43) misleads the audience and/or prepares them for the abrupt move from Arcadia to Crete (Griffiths 1970 32-33; Arnott 1976 13-18; McLennan 1977 66, 74- 75; Tandy 1979 105, 115-118; Hopkinson 1988 126-127), this paper proposes that the final word of the birth narrative, ἄρκτοιο (“bear,” 41), plays an important role in the transition as well. This reference to Callisto a) allusively justifies the departure from Arcadia, by suggesting that the Arcadians are liars not unlike the Cretans; b) prepares for the hymnist’s rejection of the Cretan account of Helice; and c) initiates a series of heavenly ascents that binds the Arcadian and Cretan portions of the hymn and culminates climactically with Zeus’s own accession to the sky.

This species was first collected off Israel in 1961 and is now common along the Levantine coast. Recently a second alien xanthid species, Actaea savignii (H. Milne Edwards, 1834), was found off Israel and Turkey. A single adult specimen was collected in Haifa Bay in 2010, and two specimens were captured off Mersin, Turkey in 2011. Repeatedly reported from the Suez Canal since 1924, the record of the Levantine populations of A. savignii is a testament to the ongoing Erythraean invasion of the Mediterranean Sea.

  • Greek Island Odyssey Holiday Report 2013
    Greek Island Odyssey Holiday Report 2013 Day 1: Saturday 20th April As our plane came in to land at Rhodes airport the wildlife spotting began! We had a good view of a female Marsh Harrier and Little Egret over the nearby river. Then, on the drive to the hotel, we saw a Wood Sandpiper on the same river by the road bridge. Upon our arrival in the medieval old town Andy and Denise made a quick foray into the moat and town and found Starred Agamas, Oertzen’s Rock Lizards, a Dahl’s Whip Snake and Large Wall Brown butterflies. It was late evening by then and so we sat at a local taverna for our first traditional Greek mezedes meal and discussed plans for the week ahead over a civilized glass of wine. Day 2: Sunday 21st April After a hearty breakfast at the hotel we set off on our first Anatolian Worm Lizard full day of exploration. Our first stop was the archaeological park at Monte Smith. After parking the car and with lots of butterflies flying around us, it was hard to know just what to look at first. Andy diverted our attention, announcing that he had found an Anatolian Worm Lizard, a strange creature looking more like a worm than a lizard and which is found in Turkey and Greece. On Rhodes it is recorded only in the northern parts of the island. Lesser Fiery Copper We then moved on to watch the butterflies. The first two we identified were male and female Lesser Fiery Coppers, soon followed by Eastern Bath White, and Clouded yellow.

  • Distribution, Abundance, and Diversity of Epifaunal Benthic Organisms in Alitak and Ugak Bays, Kodiak Island, Alaska
    DISTRIBUTION, ABUNDANCE, AND DIVERSITY OF EPIFAUNAL BENTHIC ORGANISMS IN ALITAK AND UGAK BAYS, KODIAK ISLAND, ALASKA by Howard M. Feder and Stephen C. Jewett Institute of Marine Science University of Alaska Fairbanks, Alaska 99701 Final Report Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program Research Unit 517 October 1977 279 We thank the following for assistance during this study: the crew of the MV Big Valley; Pete Jackson and James Blackburn of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Kodiak, for their assistance in a cooperative benthic trawl study; and University of Alaska Institute of Marine Science personnel Rosemary Hobson for assistance in data processing, Max Hoberg for shipboard assistance, and Nora Foster for taxonomic assistance. This study was funded by the Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior, through an interagency agreement with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce, as part of the Alaska Outer Continental Shelf Environment Assessment Program (OCSEAP). SUMMARY OF OBJECTIVES, CONCLUSIONS, AND IMPLICATIONS WITH RESPECT TO OCS OIL AND GAS DEVELOPMENT Little is known about the biology of the invertebrate components of the shallow, nearshore benthos of the bays of Kodiak Island, and yet these components may be the ones most significantly affected by the impact of oil derived from offshore petroleum operations. Baseline information on species composition is essential before industrial activities take place in waters adjacent to Kodiak Island. It was the intent of this investigation to collect information on the composition, distribution, and biology of the epifaunal invertebrate components of two bays of Kodiak Island. The specific objectives of this study were: 1) A qualitative inventory of dominant benthic invertebrate epifaunal species within two study sites (Alitak and Ugak bays).

  • Family PANDALIDAE the Genera of This Family May
    122 L. B. HOLTHUIS Family PANDALIDAE Pandalinae Dana, 1852, Proc. Acad. nat. Sci. Phila. 6: 17, 24. Pandalidae Bate, 1888, Rep. Voy. Challenger, Zool. 24: xii, 480, 625. The genera of this family may be distinguished with the help of the fol- lowing key, which is largely based on the key given by De Man (1920, Siboga Exped. 39 (a3) : 101, 102); use has also been made of Kemp's (1925, Rec. Indian Mus. 27:271, 272) key to the Chlorotocus section of this family. 1. Carpus of second pereiopods consisting of more than three joints. 2 — Carpus of second pereiopods consisting of 2 or 3 joints 13 2. No longitudinal carinae on the carapace except for the postrostral crest. 3 — Carapace with longitudinal carinae on the lateral surfaces. Integument very firm. 12 3. Rostrum movably connected with the carapace Pantomus — Rostrum not movable 4 4. Eyes poorly developed, cornea narrower than the eyestalk . Dorodotes — Eyes well developed, cornea much wider than the eyestalk .... 5 5. Third maxilliped with an exopod 6 — Third maxilliped without exopod 8 6. Epipods on at least the first two pereiopods 7 — No epipods on any of the pereiopods Parapandalus 7. Posterior lobe of scaphognathite broadly rounded or truncate. Stylocerite pointed anteriorly. Rostrum with at least some fixed teeth dorsally. Plesionika — Posterior lobe of scaphognathite acutely produced. Stylocerite broad and rounded. Rostrum with only movable spines dorsally Dichelopandalus 8. Laminar expansion of the inner border of the ischium of the first pair of pereiopods very large Pandalopsis — Laminar expansion of the inner border of the ischium of the first pair of pereiopods wanting or inconspicuous 9 9.

For illustration purposes, this map also shows geographical intermediate lines in waters in which borders with neighboring countries have yet to be demarcated. Despite ranking only 61st in the world in terms of land area (380,000 km2), Japan’s territorial waters and exclusive economic zone combined are 12 times larger (4,470,000 km2) than its land area. In December 1986, the Agreement between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Japan on Maritime Search and Rescue (U.S.-Japan SAR Agreement) was concluded, under which Japan is responsible for coordinating search and rescue activities in the vast expanse of ocean that extends northward from 17° North and westward from 165° East.
